ML 370 Video...

[Jesse Gulley]

I have a customer that installed Windows 2000 on a first generation ML 370 server. Windows picked up the video card (ATI IIC I believe.) The customer than installed the support pack from the new HP/Compaq smartstart cds (6.1 I think.) Now the video will not come up after the windows splash screen. If I remove the driver, I get video. If I install an older video driver of off an older Smartstart (I've tried Ver 5.3 and ver 5.4, both of which I know work on fresh installs of W2K) I still don't get video after the windows splash screen. I can't figure out what is going on. I even tried to delete the drivers from the WINNT directory before installing new ones. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

hi,
our ML370 was Ok with supportpaq 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 6.4. So there must be some special reason why your ML370 doesn't work correctly.
When video disappears after the windows splash screen, seems your monitor cannot display the video mode.
Have you already connected another Monitor?
Or boot in VGA-mode, and then change videosettings to 800x600 on 60Hz?
